There's probably some cleaner you can use that will displace the water to prevent corrosion on contacts, but I don't know about the membrane under a modern keyboard: perhaps it gets waterlogged and you need a hairdryer? On an old IBM model M, I used contact cleaner to get out hot chocolate. However, they have actual switches. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
